Question 1
Maths · Continuity and Differentiability · Single correct
If the function $$f(x) = \begin{cases} \frac{72^x - 9^x - 8^x + 1}{\sqrt{2} - \sqrt{1 + \cos x}}, & x \neq 0 \\ a \log_e 2 \log_e 3, & x = 0 \end{cases}$$ is continuous at $x = 0$, then the value of $a^2$ is equal to
If $\lambda > 0$, let $\theta$ be the angle between the vectors $\vec{a} = \hat{i} + \lambda \hat{j} - 3 \hat{k}$ and $\vec{b} = 3 \hat{i} - \hat{j} + 2 \hat{k}$. If the vectors $\vec{a} + \vec{b}$ and $\vec{a} - \vec{b}$ are mutually perpendicular, then the value of $(14 \cos \theta)^2$ is equal to
Let $C$ be a circle with radius $\sqrt{10}$ units and centre at the origin. Let the line $x + y = 2$ intersects the circle $C$ at the points $P$ and $Q$. Let $MN$ be a chord of $C$ of length $2$ unit and slope $-1$. Then, a distance (in units) between the chord $PQ$ and the chord $MN$ is
$3 - \sqrt{2}$
$\sqrt{2} + 1$
$\sqrt{2} - 1$
$2 - \sqrt{3}$
Answer: (a)
Solution
Given $C: x^2 + y^2 = 10$. $AN = \frac{MN}{2} = 1$. Therefore, in $\triangle OAN \rightarrow (ON)^2 = (OA)^2 + (AN)^2$. $10 = (OA)^2 + 1 \rightarrow OA = 3$. Perpendicular distance of center from $$PQ = \frac{|0 + 0 - 2|}{\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{2}$$ Perpendicular distance between $MN$ and $$PQ = OA + \sqrt{2} or |OA - \sqrt{2}|$$ $$= 3 + \sqrt{2} or 3 - \sqrt{2}$$
Question 4
Maths · Relations and Functions · Single correct
Let a relation $R$ on $N \times N$ be defined as: $(x_1, y_1) \, R \, (x_2, y_2)$ if and only if $x_1 \leq x_2$ or $y_1 \leq y_2$. Consider the two statements: (I) $R$ is reflexive but not symmetric. (II) $R$ is transitive Then which one of the following is true?
Both (I) and (II) are correct.
Only (II) is correct.
Neither (I) nor (II) is correct.
Only (I) is correct.
Answer: (d)
Solution
All $((x_1 y_1), (x_1, y_1))$ are in $R$ where $x_1, y_1 \in \mathbb{N}$. Therefore, $R$ is reflexive. $((1, 1), (2, 3)) \in R$ but $((2, 3), (1, 1)) \notin R$. Therefore, $R$ is not symmetric. $((2, 4), (3, 3)) \in R$ and $((3, 3), (1, 3)) \in R$ but $((2, 4), (1, 3)) \notin R$. Therefore, $R$ is not transitive.

$-\frac{1}{6}$
$\frac{2}{3}$
$-\frac{2}{3}$
$\frac{1}{6}$
Answer: (a)
Solution
$\lim_{x\to0}\frac{f(x)}{3x^3}$ Using L'Hospital Rule, $\lim_{x\to0}\frac{f'(x)}{3x^2}$ $= \lim_{x\to0} \frac{x+\sin(1-e^x)} {3x^2}$ (Again L'Hospital) Using L'Hospital Rule, $=\lim_{x\to0}-\frac{\left[\sin(1-e^x)-(-e^x)e^x+\cos(1-e^x)e^x\right]}{6}$ $=-\frac16$
Question 9
Maths · Applications of Integrals · Single correct

The shaded area is $$ \int_{-\frac{1}{2}}^{1} \left( \frac{y + 1}{4} - \frac{y^2}{2} \right) \, dy $$ This evaluates to $$ \left( \frac{1}{4} \left( \frac{y^2}{2} + y \right) - \frac{y^3}{6} \right) \bigg|_{-\frac{1}{2}}^{1} = \frac{9}{32}. $$
Question 10
Maths · Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations · Single correct
The area (in sq. units) of the region $S = \{ z \in \mathbb{C} : |z - 1| \leq 2; (z + \bar{z}) + i(z - \bar{z}) \leq 2, \mathrm{Im}(z) \geq 0 \}$ is

Maths · Applications of Derivatives · Single correct
Let $f(x) = 3\sqrt{x - 2} + \sqrt{4 - x}$ be a real valued function. If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are respectively the minimum and the maximum values of $f$, then $\alpha^2 + 2\beta^2$ is equal to
Consider a hyperbola H having centre at the origin and foci on the x-axis. Let $C_1$ be the circle touching the hyperbola H and having the centre at the origin. Let $C_2$ be the circle touching the hyperbola H at its vertex and having the centre at one of its foci. If areas (in sq units) of $C_1$ and $C_2$ are $36\pi$ and $4\pi$, respectively, then the length (in units) of latus rectum of H is
$\frac{14}{3}$
$\frac{28}{3}$
$\frac{11}{3}$
$\frac{10}{3}$
Answer: (b)
Solution
Let $H : \frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1 \left( b^2 = a^2 \left( e^2 - 1 \right) \right)$. Therefore, equation of $C_1$ is $\mathrm{Ar.} = 36\pi$. $$\pi a^2 = 36\pi$$ $$a = 6$$ Therefore, equation of $C_1$ is $x^2 + y^2 = a^2$. Now radius of $C_2$ can be $a(e - 1)$ or $a(e + 1)$ for $r = a(e - 1)$ for $r = a(e + 1)$. $$\mathrm{Ar.} = 4\pi \pi r^2 = 4\pi$$ $$\pi a^2 (e - 1)^2 = 4\pi$$ $$a^2 (e + 1)^2 = 4$$ $$36\pi (e - 1)^2 = 4\pi$$ $$36(e + 1)^2 = 4$$ $$e - 1 = \frac{1}{3}$$ $$e + 1 = \frac{1}{3}$$ $$e = \frac{4}{3}$$ $$-\frac{2}{3}$$ Not possible. Therefore, $b^2 = 36 \left( \frac{16}{9} - 1 \right) = 28$. Therefore, $LR = \frac{2\, b^2}{a} = \frac{2 \times 28}{6} = \frac{28}{3}$.
Question 15

Question 17
Maths · Inverse Trigonometric Functions · Single correct
Given that the inverse trigonometric function assumes principal values only. Let $x, y$ be any two real numbers in $[-1, 1]$ such that $\cos^{-1} x - \sin^{-1} y = \alpha$, $-\frac{\pi}{2} \leq \alpha \leq \pi$. Then, the minimum value of $x^2 + y^2 + 2xy \sin \alpha$ is
Let $y = y(x)$ be the solution of the differential equation $(x^2 + 4)^2 \, dy + (2x^3 y + 8xy - 2) \, dx = 0$. If $y(0) = 0$, then $y(2)$ is equal to
$\frac{\pi}{32}$
$2\pi$
$\frac{\pi}{8}$
$\frac{\pi}{16}$
Answer: (a)
Solution
Given $\dfrac{dy}{dx}+y\left(\dfrac{2x^3+8x}{(x^2+4)^2}\right)=\dfrac{2}{(x^2+4)^2}$. $\dfrac{dy}{dx}+y\left(\dfrac{2x}{x^2+4}\right)=\dfrac{2}{(x^2+4)^2}$. $\mathrm{I.F.}=e^{\int \frac{2x}{x^2+4}\,dx}$. $\mathrm{I.F.}=x^2+4$. $y(x^2+4)=\int \dfrac{2}{(x^2+4)^2}(x^2+4)\,dx$. $y(x^2+4)=2\int \dfrac{dx}{x^2+2^2}$. $y(x^2+4)=\dfrac{2}{2}\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{x}{2}\right)+c$. Given $y(0)=0$, $0=0+c$. $\Rightarrow c=0$. $\therefore\ y(x^2+4)=\tan^{-1}\left(\dfrac{x}{2}\right)$. At $x=2$, $y(4+4)=\tan^{-1}(1)$. $8y=\dfrac{\pi}{4}$. $\therefore\ y(2)=\dfrac{\pi}{32}$.

If $\vec{d}$ is the unit vector in the direction of $\vec{b} + \vec{c}$ such that $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{d} = 1$, then $(\vec{a} \times \vec{b}) \cdot \vec{c}$ is equal to

Answer: 1
Solution

In a tournament, a team plays 10 matches with probabilities of winning and losing each match as $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{2}{3}$ respectively. Let $x$ be the number of matches that the team wins, and $y$ be the number of matches that team loses. If the probability $\mathbb{P}(|x - y| \leq 2)$ is $p$, then $3^9 p$ equals
Answer: 8288
Solution
Given $P(W) = \frac{1}{3}$ and $P(L) = \frac{2}{3}$. Let $x$ be the number of matches that the team wins and $y$ be the number of matches that the team loses. We have $|x - y| \leq 2$ and $x + y = 10$. Also, $|x - y| = 0, 1, 2$ and $x, y \in \mathbb{N}$. Case-I: $-I : |x - y| = 0 \Rightarrow x = y$ Therefore, $x + y = 10 \Rightarrow x = 5 = y$ $$P(|x - y| = 0) = \binom{10}{5} \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^5 \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^5$$ Case-II: $|x - y| = 1 \Rightarrow x - y = \pm 1$ \begin{tabular}{|c|c|} \hline $x=y+1$ & $x=y-1$ \\ \hline $\because\ x+y=10$ & $\because\ x+y=10$ \\ \hline $2y=9$ & $2y=11$ \\ \hline Not possible & Not possible \\ \hline \end{tabular} Case-III: $|x - y| = 2 \Rightarrow x - y = \pm 2$ $x - y = 2$ OR $x - y = -2$ Therefore, $x + y = 10$ $x = 6, y = 4$ $x = 4, y = 6$ $$P(|x - y| = 2) = \binom{10}{6} \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^6 \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^4 + \binom{10}{4} \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)^4 \left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^6$$ $p = \frac{1}{3} \left(\binom{10}{5} \frac{2^5}{3^{10}} + \binom{10}{6} \frac{2^4}{3^{10}} + \binom{10}{4} \frac{2^6}{3^{10}}\right)$ $3^9 p = \frac{1}{3} \left(\binom{10}{5} 2^5 + \binom{10}{6} 2^4 + \binom{10}{4} 2^6\right)$ $= 8288$

Answer: 14
Solution
Equation of line passes through point $A(1, 2)$ which makes angle $\dfrac{\pi}{6}$ from $y = x + 4$ is $$y - 2 = \frac{1 \pm \tan\frac{\pi}{6}}{1 \mp \tan\frac{\pi}{6}}(x-1)$$ $$y - 2 = \frac{\sqrt{3} \pm 1}{\sqrt{3} \mp 1}(x-1)$$ $$\oplus \hspace{6cm} \oplus$$ $y - 2 = (2+\sqrt{3})(x-1)$ $\quad\Big|\quad$ $y - 2 = (2-\sqrt{3})(x-1)$ solve with $y = x + 4$ $\hspace{2cm}$ solve with $y = x + 4$ $x + 2 = (2+\sqrt{3})x - 2 - \sqrt{3}$ $\quad$ $x + 2 = (2-\sqrt{3})x - 2 + \sqrt{3}$ $$x = \frac{4+\sqrt{3}}{1+\sqrt{3}} \qquad x = \frac{4-\sqrt{3}}{1-\sqrt{3}}$$ $$\alpha^2 + \gamma^2 = \left(\frac{4+\sqrt{3}}{1+\sqrt{3}}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{4-\sqrt{3}}{1-\sqrt{3}}\right)^2$$ $$\alpha^2 + \gamma^2 = 14$$
Question 29
Maths · Three Dimensional Geometry · Numerical
Consider a line L passing through the points P(1, 2, 1) and Q(2, 1, -1). If the mirror image of the point A(2, 2, 2) in the line L is $(\alpha, \beta, \gamma)$, then $\alpha + \beta + 6\gamma$ is equal to
Answer: 6
Solution
Direction ratios of line $L$ are $-1 : 1 : 2$. Direction ratios of $AB$ are $\alpha - 2 : \beta - 2 : \gamma - 2$. Since $AB \perp L$, we have $2 - \alpha + \beta - 2 + 2\gamma - 4 = 0$. Simplifying gives $2\gamma + \beta - \alpha = 4$. Let $C$ be the midpoint of $AB$. Then $C \left( \frac{\alpha + 2}{2}, \frac{\beta + 2}{2}, \frac{\gamma + 2}{2} \right)$. The direction ratios of $PC$ are $\frac{\alpha}{2} : \frac{\beta - 2}{2} : \frac{\gamma}{2}$. Since line $L \parallel PC$, we have $\frac{-\alpha}{2} = \frac{\beta - 2}{2} = \frac{\gamma}{4} = K$ (let). Solving gives $\alpha = -2K$, $\beta = 2K + 2$, $\gamma = 4K$. Using in (1) gives $K = \frac{1}{6}$. Therefore, the value of $\alpha + \beta + 6\gamma = 24K + 2 = 6$.

Let the maximum and minimum values of the function $y = y(x)$ in $\left[0, \frac{\pi}{3}\right]$ be $\alpha$ and $\beta$, respectively. If $(3\alpha + \pi)^2 + \beta^2 = \gamma + \delta \sqrt{3}, \gamma, \delta \in \mathbb{Z}$, then $\gamma + \delta$ equals _____
Answer: 31
Solution
Given $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=(x+y+2)^2$ ...(1) and $y(0)=-2$. Let $x+y+2=v$. Then $1+\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{dv}{dx}$. From (1), $\dfrac{dv}{dx}=1+v^2$. $\int \dfrac{dv}{1+v^2}=\int dx$ $\tan^{-1}(v)=x+C$ $\tan^{-1}(x+y+2)=x+C$ At $x=0,\ y=-2 \Rightarrow C=0$. $\Rightarrow \tan^{-1}(x+y+2)=x$ $y=\tan x-x-2$ $f(x)=\tan x-x-2,\quad x\in\left[0,\dfrac{\pi}{3}\right]$ $f'(x)=\sec^2x-1>0 \Rightarrow f(x)\uparrow$ $f_{\min}=f(0)=-2=\beta$ $f_{\max}=f\left(\dfrac{\pi}{3}\right)=\sqrt{3}-\dfrac{\pi}{3}-2=\alpha$ Now $(3\alpha+\pi)^2+\beta^2=\gamma+\delta\sqrt{3}$. $\Rightarrow (3\alpha+\pi)^2+\beta^2=(3\sqrt{3}-6)^2+4$ $\Rightarrow \gamma+\delta\sqrt{3}=67-36\sqrt{3}$ $\Rightarrow \gamma=67$ $\delta=-36$ $\Rightarrow \gamma+\delta=31$

Question 45
Physics · Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter · Single correct
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A: Number of photons increases with increase in frequency of light. Reason R: Maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons increases with the frequency of incident radiation.

Both A and R are correct and R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
A is not correct but R is correct.
A is correct but R is not correct.
Answer: (c)
Solution
Intensity of light $I = \frac{n h \nu}{A}$. Here $n$ is the number of photons per unit time. $$n = \frac{I A}{h \nu}$$ so on increasing frequency $\nu$, $n$ decreases taking intensity constant. $$k_{max} = h \nu - \phi$$ So on increasing $\nu$, kinetic energy increases.

Answer: 750
Solution
Before inserting dielectric capacitance is given $C_0 = 12.5 \, \mathrm{pF}$ and charge on the capacitor $Q = C_0 \, V$. After inserting dielectric capacitance will become $\epsilon_r C_0$. Change in potential energy of the capacitor $$= E_i - E_f$$ $$= \frac{Q^2}{2C_i} - \frac{Q^2}{2C_f} = \frac{Q^2}{2C_0} \left[ 1 - \frac{1}{\epsilon_r} \right]$$ $$= \frac{(C_0 \, V)^2}{2C_0} \left[ 1 - \frac{1}{\epsilon_r} \right] = \frac{1}{2} C_0 \, V^2 \left[ 1 - \frac{1}{\epsilon_r} \right]$$ Using $C_0 = 12.5 \, \mathrm{pF}$, $V = 12 \, \mathrm{V}$, $\epsilon_r = 6$ $$= \frac{1}{2} (12.5) \times 12^2 \left[ 1 - \frac{1}{6} \right] = \frac{1}{2} (12.5) \times 12^2 \times \frac{5}{6}$$ $$= 750 \, \mathrm{pJ} = 750 \times 10^{-12} \, \mathrm{J}$$
